I just saw a Russian on YouTube with the same full name as me. (For the record, I’m Canadian, but pretty much all of my screen names everywhere include the phrase “Russian Spy”.)
I really don’t know how to react to this.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: PIRATE METAL.
(Or Scottish folk metal, or bacon-powered pirate core, whichever you prefer.)
If you’re upset about Tumblr being sold to Yahoo that’s okay because your feelings literally do not matter and Tumblr doesn’t care about you and I love that a lot. That’s honestly really beautiful

I’m sick of people making posts like “white people caused the (racism) problem, they get no say in how it gets fixed”.
I do understand that there are white people who think they know how racism exists in our society, and…
Okay, let me get this straight. I see you’re saying two things here:
1) Science isn’t always objective.
2) There is no objectivity to be had here whatsoever, so the opinions of PoC are all we have to go by.
First point: I see your point - Tuskegee, Zimbardo, etc. are all proof that not all so-called “scientists” know what they’re doing - but even so, if they actually find anything that’s consistently supported by further research, nobody can reject it with opinions and personal experiences alone. (Though I do admit that skepticism of individual experiments is only healthy.)
Second point: if that’s what you really think, then you are indeed the kind of person this post was directed at, and you’re beyond reason. Congratulations.
(ETA: Whoops, forgot to address the first line. If you’re saying that “we are all human” in the context of that post - i.e. where perspective doesn’t matter - is an interjected opinion, then that’s the second-most racist thing I’ve read all week. Congrats yet again.)
As promised: another racism rant.
I’m sick of people making posts like “white people caused the (racism) problem, they get no say in how it gets fixed”.
I do understand that there are white people who think they know how racism exists in our society, and that they really don’t because they don’t see it. This isn’t about that.
This is about people thinking vengeance and/or anger are more important than being effective. Newsflash: they’re not, and until you all realize that, your so-called “solutions” will only make things worse by making other people stop taking racism callouts, etc. seriously. And the permanent solution lies in understanding what, in society and/or the human mind, makes people racist. Again, I admit that, in general (i.e. possibly excluding only the best sociologists and researchers), the society aspect is best left to people who actually have to live with it every day of their lives. But the mind part is psychology. A science. Open to anyone willing to do the research. ANYONE. Even - GASP! - white people.
So go ahead and tell any of them who say racism is a thing of the past to STFU. But the next person to say they can’t talk about reasons behind it, etc. needs broken glass to the eye. Because guess what? That person is a racist.White people don’t have any value in the conversation pertaining to racism. What they simply could do is take a step back and assess what PoC are telling them.
However it would appear as those white egotism doesn’t allow them to reflect on pertaining information.
Discussions about racism and culturally related subjects aren’t about vengeance it’s just that people have gotten fed up with white people interjecting opinions when they are of no value. No understanding. That is why people are frustrated.
White people just need to fall back and listen. This isn’t about subjugation.
(Almost didn’t reply because of the racism in the second paragraph, but considering everything else is valid…)
I’m guessing you only read the first sentence of this post and then only skimmed the rest because you thought it was going to be about something else. Not the way to be.
I’m pretty sure I actually said you guys should own the stage when it comes to opinion stuff. The entire point of this was to distinguish that stuff from the science behind it - and yes, there is indeed (some) science behind it.
(Also to kill time on a bus but yeah.)
(ETA: My phone screwed this up horribly, but I think it’s fixed now. Basically, all I meant to say with this post was that it’s fine to hate on white people who “interject their opinions” or whatever - at best, that’s conflict of interest - but what I’ve seen here sometimes is white people getting shot down for presenting facts, like psychological research on subconscious racism or relative empathy levels to different races. That’s got to stop.)
Repeat after me:
You don’t have to feel responsible for the actions of anybody who isn’t you.
The color of your skin should not dictate how you’re treated.
If you feel some sort of obligation to let people be unpleasant to you because you’re more privileged than them, you are not compassionate, you are a doormat.

HEYYYYY GUESS WHAT IF YOURE A WHITE BOY YOU DONT GET TO TELL PEOPLE SHIT ABOUT “THE SOLUTION TO RACISM” THANK YOU FOR PLAYING
hmm youre saying i cant do certain things because of my skin tone… funny, that almost sounds kinda.. … racist………………..
I’d make a separate text post about this sort of BS but screw it it’s late I need sleep
(ETA: OP is a proud misandrist. I’m not going to bother whipping out the checklist this time - see above.)

Legitimate Rape
Rape is a product of privilege consuming our society. Who benefits the most from privilege?? White cis heterosexual males. Therefore they are the only true people who can carry out a legitimate rape, but only over a less privilege person. The constructs of society have enabled men to rape.
Women can rape, but its not legitimate. Its not spurred by society or privilege. In a way female rapists can also be victims themselves. They are rebelling against society against its constructs of privilege. Men can rape men but again, its not legitimate unless the man getting raped is either gay or trans because then they are less privileged according to societal constructs. If a straight man rapes a straight man it is consensual rape but a straight man would never rape a straight man so its a contradicition in itself.
There is my philosophy on legitimate rape. I will not answer any more questions about what it is only on ones so I can educate you all on why it is the way it is.
What the absolute fuck hahahha
what the fuck is wrong with you OP?
Because im a white cis man I benefit from raping more than any other person? So a woman raping me means nothing because I’m the only one who can be a sexual pig in the order of things?
I’m going to puke oh my fucking god.
Let’s go through the list here…
Twisted, misandrist definition of rape? Check.
Radvegan? Double-check - she actually calls the meat industry “genocide”.
Long-winded about sexual orientation? Check.
“Only white people can be racist”? Triple-check - she presents a good definition of racism, but then claims there isn’t a single POC in the world who believes in the supremacy of their own race. *coughblackpantherscough*
Believes all men are more privileged than all women? Check.
Yep, OP is literally everything wrong with Tumblr.
(ETA: …and may actually be yet another troll. If so, the above statement - minus “literally” - still applies due to the giant rape joke inherent to the “trollsona”. Just saying.)
it’s also worth pointing out that duskphoenix, the idiot that made that post, has admitted to having a “rape fetish” and doesn’t see anything wrong with it
so yeah, you can add him to the “avoid at all costs list”
